Oakland, CA–April 11, 2014 In an interview on KCBS Radio, Mills College School of Education Dean Kathy Schultz reacts to Gallup’s “State of America’s Schools Report.” The report, released this week, says nearly 70 percent of K–12 teachers surveyed in a 2012 poll do not feel engaged in their work. Dean Schultz explains why we shouldn’t be surprised by the high numbers, why we shouldn’t blame teachers, and why we need to create conditions where teachers will feel engaged.
